white block sticking out of the right hand side of the site. Does 
anybody know how to correct this, please?


To me it looks like that it's your #container div width which is 
calculated without remembering all paddings, borders and margins.


#container {background: #FFF; float: left; margin-right: -200px; width: 
774px; border: 5px double #fff;}

[css-d] Forgot Link for Div jumping in FF

2005-07-10 Thread Thomas Hall
Sorry, I forgot to put in the link for my earlier post -
http://design.tmhdesign.com/meran/italy-golf-spa-e.asp

 

Please look at this page. The div titled copyright jumps up mid-page when
first loaded, but after a refresh it jumps to where it is supposed  to be.
I am not quite sure why that is, I looked in Firefox using the outline for
the block elements but it just isn't clear to me what is going on. The
overall layout is a modified version of a css template I located online.
Thanks for any tips.

Looks like Firefox becomes confused by some mixed styling. So do I...

We can't clear an absolute positioned element, so #copyright should
either be positioned (without a 'clear') or left in the flow (with a clear).

You have this 'mix':
---
#copyright{
margin: 100px auto 10px 100px;
padding:0;
position:absolute;
bottom:-92px;
font-size:12px;
text-align:center;
width:600px;
left:0;
clear:both;
}


Which I would choose to write as this, 'in the flow':

#copyright{
margin: 10px auto 10px 100px;
font-size:12px;
width:600px;
clear:both;
}

...if it's just the graphical layout in that page that's important.

Note that all the absolute-positioned elements makes that page break in
all browsers - when the slightest text-zoom is applied.
The pixel-defined line-heights found here and there doesn't help much
either.
Either the template you've found, or your modifications of it - or both
- is seriously flawed.

Re: [css-d] In IE 6 my dropcap is not aligning correctly

2005-07-10 Thread Moira Ashleigh

I noticed on my home page of my personal web site
(http://www.inspired-evolution.com) my drop cap (the large I in
inspired) doesn't exactly fit in with the rest of the word in IE 6
(pc), that is it is too far to the right. In the browser I designed
the site for (Mozilla for Mac), it looks good and is positioned how I
want it.

Any suggestions on a IE 6 hack without messing up the positioning on
the good browsers?

URL: http://www.inspired-evolution.com
CSS:http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Gilbert.css



I am wondering why you don't just style the cap with CSS or am I 
missing something here?

That is one of the cool things CSS added - print like capital letters.

[css-d] Problem with IE and background image

2005-07-10 Thread Lee Underwood

I am new on the list and need some help.

I have placed a fixed background image on my Web site at: 
http://www.shamar.org/emet/. It works fine in Firefox but not IE. 
However, I have a fixed image on another place on the Web site 
http://www.shamar.org/ that works fine in both Firefox and IE. The style 
sheets are loaded here:


for the site that doesn't work:
http://www.shamar.org/style/news.css

and for the site that does:

I am guessing it's something simple ... appreciate it.

This is because of the higher specificity your images got this rule
applied to them:

#main_content img{
   border:1px solid #333;
  margin-left:5em
}

you can fix it by adding #main_content in front of  table.thumbnails img {
Some tweaking on images/td padding may be required.

[css-d] Thanks

2005-07-10 Thread Markus Winter
Hi all,

first of all thanks to everyone who responded to my questions.

I got 7 replies straight into my inbox telling me off for posting non-css
questions, 3 suggesting I should read a book before posting questions, and 4
which told me to either use JavaScript, PHP, or server site includes.

As I said at the outset I'm pretty much an absolute beginner. I'm currently
working my way through How to do everything with HTML and XHTML, and I
constantly encounter deprecated in HTML, use css instead.

Stephen Laniel expressed it best:

 I think the problem is that it's not clear from the outset
 what CSS handles. It's certainly not clear that CSS fails to
 handle boilerplate text.

From the reaction to my question it is clear that my inability to find a
solution is not due to me not finding it in the book or on the css sites,
but that it is simply NOT possible to do EVERYTHING with HTML  css (I feel
kind of cheated by the book but then I got it from the library and didn't
shell out money for it so that's probably ok).

Thanks to the people sending suggestions on how I could do it - however
JavaScript seems to be a security hole (many people I know - including me -
have JavaScript disabled in their browser), PHP is Chinese to me, and I
couldn't even begin to voice an opinion on server site includes.

On a side note I also dabble in REALbasic. The developers of REALbasic and
even the CEO answer questions on the newsgroup  mailing lists posted by
beginners and advanced people alike. I really appreciate their constructive
tone and making everyone feel welcome, no matter how dumb their question
might be.

Markus

[css-d] IE css positioning woes

2005-07-10 Thread Sam Leathers
I've been working on a site for a week now, trying to get positioning
looking good. The site is www.mapienet.biz/newmag/index.php. The
positioning looks great in firefox, but in IE it broke horribly. I added
a bunch of * html tags to force some boxes with IE 6 into the right
place (IE5 still needs lots of help it freezes hard on mac according to
a friend of mine). Also, some reason IE6 is ignoring the bold statements
for my title tags.

Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

Seems to me that if you just remove the:

the problem dissapears. Is there a compelling reason - global stylesheet 
or somthing which requires you to leave that in?

RE: [css-d] Mind the gap

2005-07-10 Thread Peter Williams
 From:  Ian Sweeney
 
 In IE6 there is a gap between the bottom of the image shown at
 www.iansweeney.me.uk/p4 and the blue top border of the 
 content section.
 There is no gap when viewed with Firefox. How do I get rid of the gap?

ian,

It is the whitespace in your markup causing it. Rewrite the markup as:

div id=mastimg alt=MAST src=mast.jpg //div

and it goes away. It was some sort of extra space in the mast div.

I notice on your page that you've found a solution using overflow: hidden. 
Another solution is simply to move the closing div tag onto the same line (in 
the markup) that the image tag occupies. Alternately, you can set the image to 
display: block, or use verticle-align: bottom to accomplish the same thing.

Style the image to 'display: block', as it should be in strict.

#mast img {display: block;}
...and it'll look alright in IE6 also.

[css-d] Safari doctype switcher affecting CSS

2005-07-10 Thread IDS

Hi all,

I am putting the finishing touches on http://impluviumsystems.com/  
and have come across a weird behaviour in Safari: when I include a  
doctype, the CSS hover on the navigation stops working. When I take  
the doctype out, the :hover effect works once again.


I wasn't aware that Safari changed its behaviour based on doctype  
presence -- is there something basic I've overlooked? I've been  
staring at this code for days now and it may be as simple as having a  
fresh pair of eyes look at it!


If you've got a moment to wrestle this odd problem, the links are:

Website: http://impluviumsystems.com
CSS: http://impluviumsystems.com/css/iscorp.css

Thanks in advance!

Best wishes,

IMHO this is not a web/CSS question.  Bob's suggestion is valid, but is
mainly useful when you want to CSS to format a document for printing
that is also available for the web. Thomas' question about a print-only
document, and only for a few select users (the ones creating/printing
the menu).  Create your data management backend, and have the output go
to PDF via a menu template instead of a web page.  You thus have
absolute control over the layout.  This can be accomplished reasonably
easily using fpdf or pdflib in PHP; similar utilities exist for other
common web scripting languages.  CSS is fantastic, but don't use a

I believe the standards say that the rule should be ignored if there are
